Fundraising Heroes - How to Set Up Your Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Fundraising Campaign

As a Fundraising Hero, you can raise funds for a campaign by creating your own personal Peer-to-Peer fundraising page. This guide walks you through the full process from invitation to publishing your page.


Before You Start

To create a P2P campaign:

  • You must be invited by the fundraiser via email.
  • The parent campaign must be published before you can publish your own page.
  • Each hero creates their own individual fundraising page linked to the parent campaign.

Step 1: Accept Your Invitation

  1. Open the email from ASF.
  2. Click the link to Accept the invitation.
  3. You will be taken to the ASF sign-up page.

Step 2: Create Your ASF Profile

Complete the profile form with:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email address
  • Mobile number
  • Date of birth
  • Accept the Terms & Conditions
  • Receive updates from the Australian Sports Foundation (optional)

Click Sign Up.


If you see: “Failed to create new account”

This happens if:

  • You already have an ASF account using this email, or
  • The invitation link has expired.

What to do:

  • Try logging in instead, or
  • Ask the fundraiser to resend your invitation.
  • If you're still having trouble please contact ASF
